Madera Community College is growing and we are developing a music program!
Currently, we offer general education courses in music including Music Appreciation, Music Appreciation Honors, and Jazz History and Appreciation.
As we grow, we will add music theory, ear training, applied music lessons, and vocal ensembles – these are the same classes a music major would take during their first two years at a 4-year college but at a lower cost and with more personalized attention! You will be able to major in music or earn a certificate.
